The Dancu Residents Association, which caters to residents from Dinwiddie, Albemarle (East of the N3 highway), Norton Small Farms (East of the N3 highway), Castleview and Union (East of the N3 highway), is urging community members to collect their municipal wheelie bins.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt has come to our attention that some residents are still placing their rubbish in the black municipal plastic bags and putting this out on a Thursday morning,\u201d said Charleen Kirby on behalf of Dancu.<\/p>
